Why are dental implants considered the gold standard for tooth replacement?

Why are dental implants considered the gold standard for tooth replacement?

Dental implants replace missing teeth because they mimic the natural structure of a tooth. An implant consists of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to act as an artificial root. Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge or denture is attached to the implant, creating a replacement designed to look, feel and function just like a natural tooth.

Unlike dentures or traditional bridges, dental implants don’t rely on surrounding teeth for support. This means the healthy teeth are preserved, and because implants integrate with your jawbone, they also help prevent bone loss, which is a common issue after losing teeth. With proper care, dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime. However, as with any dental care treatment, it's important to remember that all results and treatment times vary per case.
